Knowing that woodworking activities require spare woods that can be obtained in your garden or the forest near you, then we say that there are sets of overlapping tools to be used both in the garden and in your woodwork project. One example is the saw.
This is the most common gardening saw. As we can see, it’s blade have larger gaps so it can cut wooden objects in the garden easily.

On the other side, this is the hand saw. This has a very fine edge to make sure that the saw can follow the measurements of the wood to be cut.
In woodworking, it is important to make sure that the tools and other instruments that will be used can accurately follow patterns to avoid ruining the designs. In gardening, what is important is that it can be used to cut garden species, and to assure better growth.
